Super easy and extra gooey almond butter avocado cookies that are gluten-free, oil-free, and packed with chocolate chips! Perfect with a tall glass of almond milk for dessert.

Almond Butter Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies

This weekend I’m going to Christmas Cookie Party with girlfriends!

I’m pretty excited about the whole thing.

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but most of that time is spent alone.

Well, that’s not entirely true.

Miss Harper is always there to catch the crumbs and lick the dirty dishes.

But I’ve never baked with a group of girls, so it should be interesting and I’m not sure what to expect.

If you’re imagining giggles and flour flying on brightly colored sweaters with Christmas music setting that holiday background tone, that’s exactly what I’m imagining too and I’m PUMPED.

I wish I could take you with me, but instead, I’ll share these Almond Butter Avocado Cookies.

These cookies taste sinfully decadent but are made with only a few simple nutritious ingredients!

Almond Butter Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies

I guess I’m in a bit of a fat fest right now.

(See my post from a few days ago on Creamy Peanut Butter Tahini Fat Bites)

Colder weather always makes me crave heartier meals and snacks.

Almond Butter Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies

The first time I tried peanut butter and avocado together I smeared them side by side onto a piece of toast.

I saw someone on Instagram do it in that wonderfully instantaneous and haphazard way that only Instagram can convey, and knew I had to recreate it.

For a while I wanted to do a Nut Butter & Avocado Toast for my Toast! section, but that seemed a little bland, so I settled on making cookies instead.

(I’m not ruling out a future toast though, never say never!)

The combination of Georgia Grinder’s Almond Butter with creamy avocado is unbeatable, friends.

The best excuse to make these is to use up all the overly ripe and “ugly” avocados.

The ones you’re kind of disgusted with but still taste amazing.

These cookies will make them pretty again.

Enjoy these Almond Butter Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies as a healthy and delicious end to your day!

They’re also great for pre/post workout fuel because they’re packed with protein from the almond butter and almond meal.

I highly recommend reheating them a little so the chocolate gets all gooey.

You’re welcome.

Happy baking, friends!

    Hi Lauren! These cookies look divine and I love how simple the recipe is! I’m a fan of using avocado in dessert recipes but I never would have thought to combine avocado and almond butter. Great idea! Will definitely be giving this recipe a try! I don’t have any flax so I’m going to substitute with a chia egg. Are you a fan of chia eggs?

      Hi Phoebe! I do use chia eggs from time to time and they work well! I think you could definitely substitute it here for a flax egg. Let me know what you think– the combination of avocado and chocolate and almond butter is SO GOOD! XOXO.

    Can I use something else instead of the maple syrup?

      Hi Theresa! You could try coconut sugar or coconut nectar instead, although I haven’t tested these versions. Let me know how it goes! XOXO.

      This recipe sounds easy and very yummy. Since I can’t have honey,I think I’m going to try very loose date Syrup. Fingers crossed. What Do you think Lauren?

    Do you have a substitute for the flax egg?

      Hi Jade,

      If you’re not vegan you can use regular egg. If vegan, you can use ground chia seeds instead of flax seed! Hope this helps!

      Best,
      Lauren

Can we make Soba Saturday a thing? 🥰 🍜🍳Th Can we make Soba Saturday a thing? 🥰 🍜🍳This CASHEW BUTTER SOBA NOODLE STIR FRY is new on the blog today. This simple stir-fry is made with buckwheat soba noodles and tender-crisp vegetables in a creamy cashew butter sauce. It’s perfect for a quick and cozy plant-based dinner! 👏

This recipe’s foundation is made with @edenfoods Buckwheat Soba Noodles. //#sponsored If you’re gluten-free like me, you might have mistakenly avoided buckwheat believing that it is a type of wheat. However, despite the name, buckwheat isn’t a wheat at all, and is actually naturally gluten-free! 😱
Buckwheat protein is awesome because it has all essential amino acids. @edenfoods Buckwheat Soba Noodles are made from only two ingredients: 100% whole grain organic buckwheat and purified water! They’re fantastic paired with tender-crisp veggies and a dreamy cashew butter sauce. 🥰
